Abstract

A vehicle 1 has a front cap section 2 and a rear section 3, having a loading area 4. The front section 2 has a chassis 6 on which is mounted an engine 7, a gearbox 8, a transfer box 9 and an axle 10 having a differential unit 11 and a pair of steerable roadwheels 12. The engine 7 is mounted back to front behind the axle 10 and drives forward to the gearbox 8 which is positioned over the axle 10. The engine 7 and gearbox 8 are positioned so as not to cause wheel clearance problems when turning. The gearbox 8 drives forward to the transfer box 9 via a coupling 8a. The trnasfer box 9 drops and reverses the drive to drive rearwardly via a drive shaft assembly 9a to the differential unit 11. As all the drive and steering apparatus is contained within the front section 2 it is self-contained and there is no rearwardly extending driveshaft as in conventional vehicles. The load area 4 can thus be arranged at a conveniently low level of some twenty inches above ground level.
